LYRICAL | BRILLIANT | UPLIFTING

What better way to ease ourselves into the 2024-25 Hoddinott Hall season than under the baton of our new Principal Guest Conductor Jaime Martín. Opening with Brahms’ musical thank you – his Academic Festival Overture blends traditional students songs with cleverly quirky orchestrations and dynamics to showcase sweeping lyricism, humorous rambunctiousness and an irrepressible feeling of fun.

Also never short on creative ideas, Tchaikovsky wrote his Violin Concerto in an astoundingly short two weeks. Inescapable magic and rousing brilliance interweave enchanting simplicity, all crowned with crackling firework virtuosity from the solo violin, performed here by the fabulous Nemanja Radulović. A brushstroke of Dvořákian maturity is never more present than in his Sixth Symphony, with limitless lyricism, warm expressiveness and fiery Bohemian spirit never far from reach.
